Hello All
I have just joined this forum as I am looking to buy a Fiat Coupe and join the club and get involved in all things Coop related!
I am currently looking at a few Coupe's and have read the very helpful buyers guide on the forum which has been invaluable to rule out no goers early on in the looking process.
I just wanted to clarify a point in the guide about the timing belt. If a car had the belt changed at 53,000 miles in 2016 and as of today has done 61,000 miles does the best still need replacing next year as per the 6 year suggestion? I just want to check the general rule of thumb is every 6 years and not dependant at all on how many miles it does since each change.
Finally if I wanted to put new brake discs and lines on a coupe would anyone have a rough ball park figure for that work? Is this a big/expensive job?
Thanks again to this forum as I was looking at one coupe which looked to be in great shape apart from a slight leak in the sunroof and a quick search on here brought up the thread on the sunroof issue which was very helpful. Did anyone ever find a solution to this through 3d printing or something?
Thanks
Jeremy
